A leaked photograph from the sets of Samay Raina's 'India's Got Latent Season 2' has taken the internet by storm.

The photograph, allegedly taken by an audience member during the taping, depicts Alia Bhatt dressed casually in a grey T-shirt and a black cap, holding a microphone on set. Her 'Alpha' co-star Sharvari is seated beside her, along with comedians Aashish Solanki and Balraj Ghai. The image quickly spread across Reddit and X, triggering a flurry of reactions from fans, both supportive and critical.

Mixed Reactions from Fans

While some fans welcomed the high-profile appearances as a sign of the show's growing mainstream appeal, many others expressed disappointment. Comments online reflected a sense of disillusionment with the direction the show appears to be taking. One netizen wrote, 'Alpha promotion,' while another commented, 'He's going to roast here like papad for the Cannes drama.' A comment read, 'Generally when legends go to mass/commercial level, they get boring. Kapil, Honey Singh for example.' A Reddit user noted, 'If Alia Bhatt is in it, I feel like it's gonna be scripted this time.'

About 'India's Got Latent'

The new season marks a significant return for Samay Raina's show following the high-profile controversy involving podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia last year. His remarks during an episode triggered widespread backlash, police complaints, and the temporary removal of content from online platforms. Despite the turbulence, anticipation for Season 2 has remained strong, with fans eager to see how the show evolves.

About 'Alpha'

'Alpha' is the first female-led entry in the Aditya Chopra-backed Spy Universe, with Alia Bhatt headlining the project alongside Sharvari, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol, the latter expected to play the film's primary antagonist. Directed by Shiv Rawail, known for 'The Railway Men', 'Fan', and 'Dhoom 3', the film was largely shot in Kashmir and is set to release in theatres on July 10, 2026.
